March 16th will mark the tenth anniversary of the original EverQuest, and Sony Online Entertainment plans to make this year something special for its fans. To kick off the festivities, they're unveiling the cover art for a new book that showcases the game's legacy.
EverQuest: The 10th anniversary Collector's Edition includes "essays and photos of the events, products, personalities and art that graced the world of Norrath over the years." It also boasts some amazing cover art created by Donato Giancola, and dedicated to the late Keith Parkinson, the painter of EQ's original box art. Parkinson passed away on October 26th, 2005 after a battle with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. You can pre-order the book from Brady Games, before it becomes available in March.

Keith Parkinson was one of my favorite fantasy artist. He set the tone for a lot of early D&D, Palladium RPG's and EQ boxes not to mention more book covers then you can shake a stick at.
His art still lives on in Vanguard.
